Very insightful. Recently ...Great post you wrote. Very insightful. Recently I found myself pondering the common insult flung at the religious, which is to call them "sheeple." It's clever and derogatory, isn't it? But it occurred to me that according to the scriptures, every child of God (unbelievers and believers alike) are "sheep" or "lambs;" the believers simply make a cognitive choice to follow the Good Shepherd. By so doing, they will order their lives according to a different and more elevated and elevating set of values than those who reject the Good Shepherd. Fortunate we are, that He doesn't give up on the 1, and will leave the 99 to go searching. <br /><br />Jeremiah 50:6<br />6 My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place.<br /><br />and<br /><br />Alma 5:37<br />37 O ye workers of iniquity; ye that are puffed up in the vain things of the world, ye that have professed to have known the ways of righteousness nevertheless have gone astray, as sheep having no shepherd, notwithstanding a shepherd hath called after you and is still calling after you, but ye will not hearken unto his voice!Daughter of Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18150224385775870829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858684610739447040.post-41644338973220239772012-02-04T16:52:37.254-06:002012-02-04T16:52:37.254-06:00You are absolutely right, we are born with godlike...You are absolutely right, we are born with godlike characteristics. However, we do have a disposition to follow our natural instincts and do things that God, who has control over His instincts, does not want us to do. The Book of Mormon talks about this, and refers to it as the "natural man". The natural man in us seeks our own comfort and immediate satisfaction. We must fight against any carnal instincts to bring our actions in line with what God wants for us. I particularly like this scripture:<br />"For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father." MOsiah 3:19<br />I'm also reminded of these verses in Roman's 8:16,17<br /> 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:<br /><br /> 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.<br />I love that you are going to be a science teacher. Although you can't necessarily preach religion during your classes, you can give faith to those who might otherwise have their faith shaken by the athiests that dominate the science field.Delirioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564398770468606675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858684610739447040.post-90522631940906097632012-02-04T14:25:59.576-06:002012-02-04T14:25:59.576-06:00Hi Teresa.

I just noted a few headlines and thought how odd, even for Iran, that all of these popped up at once. Skinned knees and football will always over-rule thoughtful news coverage. I think there is a tendency to discount bizarre things coming out of Iran because, well, its Iran, but I suspect it will come together at some point.

Baron Ba...Thanks for sharing this excellent column. Baron Batch has something in common with Faulkner. He, too, failed English (well, got a D). Then he won the Nobel Prize for his writing. Most English teachers are not published, a fact that should help put matters in perspective. Yes, the best can teach some good techniques, but they are not always the best determinants of who will become a successful professional writer. Yay for Baron and his success -- part of it, I am sure, comes from his non-writing work, the caring he puts into life and helping others.Elizabeth Mahlouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00334700057953625321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858684610739447040.post-3140406416573547492011-05-12T12:14:05.815-05:002011-05-12T12:14:05.815-05:00Glad I could brighten your day!Glad I could brighten your day!eutychushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10358483532981233704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858684610739447040.post-77279319873629730082011-05-12T10:41:21.016-05:002011-05-12T10:41:21.016-05:00I actually did laugh out loud!

That we would, as a society, be willing to invest billions on a certitude that should, by the standards of science itself, not exist, is quite unsettling. And frankly, it destroys any legitimacy that might be reasonable regarding environmentalism.eutychushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10358483532981233704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858684610739447040.post-28179674750012094732011-04-24T13:51:36.054-05:002011-04-24T13:51:36.054-05:00Yes, it is. glad you liked it.Yes, it is. glad you liked it.eutychushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10358483532981233704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858684610739447040.post-22238242474360727632011-04-24T10:56:36.525-05:002011-04-24T10:56:36.525-05:00Beautiful poem!Beautiful poem!Delirioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564398770468606675noreply@blogger.com
